Synthesis and processing of improved graphite-molybdenum-titanium composites by colloidal route and spark plasma sintering

Graphite-molybdenum-titanium composites might attract significant interest as heat sinks for different sector applications due to their excellent thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. This type of was already studied but following the powder metallurgy spark plasma sintering (SPS) route. The aim present investigation is study a new route fabrication these improve properties: colloidal synthesis SPS process. results obtained graphite-10 vol% Mo-1 Ti prepared by both routes are compared. It has been proved that properties significantly improved compared with route, i. e. conductivity factor 3, thermal 8 bending strength 4.
